***No relation to Balto, already in a family tree(which is actually very closely intertwined with my own xD), I know. 8P But really, its only a tiny crush on Luk....

Name: Unn

Gender: ?

Species/ Breed: Alaskan Brown Bear

Personality: "Very talkative and sociable. Enjoys teasing males and thinks shes a 'hot shot'. High self esteem despite her 'fattyness', and isn't offended too easily. Very (love)-able. "

History: "Unn's brother was killed as a cub by another older male. Their mother was very young and ventured too close to a male, and as a result he tried getting rid of her cubs to free her to be his mate. She managed to escape with Unn though.
Later when she left her mother she met two 'orphaned' polar bear cubs and took a liking to one called Luk. She hasn't seen them in a while because they live very close to a human town, but now and again she'll venture close to flirt with Luk."

How they meet the Pack: As Unn gets older, she gets lonely. Seeing as she is holding herself for Luk, she never mated or has cubs. (I was thinking that she matronly tries to care for a certain pup that wanders off *ahem*, and the pack confronts her. Unn is really a sweetie, so she gives in. However, she grew to like the pack and 'stalks' them periodically. Most aren't bothered by this any longer(*cough*Tempest*cough*), and Unn has grown very attached to the wolf pack, and arguably vice versa.)

How they feel about the Pack: Ok, generic maybe, but here it is: Unn really likes everyone 8/. When she finally catches up to the wolves, she'll play pranks, poke fun mercilessly, hide behind bushes only to burst out and startle whoever had walked by, glomp(oh yes--glomp, even the serious ones like Quick) the wolves, and talk non stop about anything and everything. I suppose she and Odin particularly would be peas in a pod, if he could get over her 'tease-flirting' x]. She also does well with the pups(shocker!), and would be a typical mama bear if they were bothered.

I'm leaving most of this up to you...Really, I'm just throwing her out there for you to use in whatever way you like. x]

awwww, she's adorable 8D!! haha she'd fit right in!

Name: Nunau (pronounced new-now)
Gender: Male
Species/ Breed: Loon
Personality: Wise-cracking, always out to have a laugh, and always is around the ladies (of any species). He thinks of himself as a stud, but not in a jerk way. In more of a funny way. He's quirky, spazzy, and fun to be around.
History: Back in his homeland of Monadnock, Maine, he would refer to himself as a "lady-killer", and thinks he's quite the stud, even though he's never had a real mate, and most of the other loons thought he was a loser. Nunau was once appointed by the leader of his flock to lead a gaggle (what loons call those V shaped formations) to the other side of the country for instinctual reasons. However, despite his terrible sense of direction, he mislead his gaggle and eventually completely lost them in a storm. He awoke somewhere along the Rockies, lucky to be alive, and he began to panic.
How they meet the Pack: After he found himself in the Rockies, he began to plan on how he was going to get back home, even though he had no idea where he was. While he was taking a stroll, plotting hi s way home, he got caught in a bramble bush, and when he tried to get himself untangled, it made it worse. He let loose a few of his loudest loon calls, and eventually, the Pack heard the cries for help and found him, and since he was a loser back home anyway, he decided to stay with the Pack
How they feel about the Pack:
Everest- He's pretty obedient to Everest, and he admires his leadership and strong will to keep his pack alive. He sees Everest as something Nunau has always wanted to be; a leader. He hates how Everest's leadership comes so naturally, while Nunau couldn't even lead a gaggle of loons for once in his life.
Odin- He likes Odin the best out of the pack, mostly because they have similar personalities. He tends to hang out with Odin the most, and he likes that they seem to think the same way, so they can have an *cough* intelligent conversation.
Fly- Nunau constantly calls her things like "sweet cheeks" because he's just that kind of guy, even though he knows she's a wolf and all that.
Tempest- Same as Fly
Quick- He doesn't like Quick very much, because his "loon senses tingle whenever he gets near him". Honestly, he's never heard of Haitus until he met Everest's pack, but Nunau seems to think that Quick is always up to something, but he keeps his concerns to himself.

I've been itching to make a bird character >8D
I drew it on paper, then colored it in with Photoshop. So don't think it's a lineart 'cos it's not

sweet character! i've never seen a loon on the site either!!

Name: Charini (means;follower)
Gender: female
Species/ Breed: Lyxn
Personality: Charini has never really had an amazing personality. She is quiet, unless she is offended, or someone she is close to is offended. She is very calm and level headed, she doesn't get irrational, unless in a dangerous life threatening issue. Charini is very loyal and often latches onto others, following them around and being and doing what ever they want. Charini likes to lay in the sun, and secretly enjoys snuggling into furry others, like Everest and the others. Charini is a bit of a nervous person around people, unless she knows them. Then she either loves and follows them, or doesn't really pay attention to them.
History: I'm not really sure what her history before the pack would be yet. I will have to work on this, I hope you don't mind I entered it without a history. I will of course do it, just this second I'm a bit brain dead. :[
How they meet the Pack: Charini meet the pack when she was being chased of by some large brute wolves. The cat had chased her rabbit meal into Hiatus' territory, leading the cat straight into the of a patrol, which were highly active because of the tention between Hiatus and Everest. Taking the flight instead of fight tatic, Charini flashed away, forgetting her meal, and going head on into the direction of Everest's territory. The patrol was hot on Charini's heels. The cat became alarmed and panicked, and the next thing she knew, she had ran through a pair of white and gold legs. Everest, along with Quick and Will, had seen the patrol, and stopped them as them came into Everest's territory. After the confromtation was subsided, Charini became attached to the three males, although at first she was nervous, having just been chased by wolves, but they proved to be kind and offered her to stay with them shortly.
How they feel about the Pack:
Everest/Quick/Will: She is attached to these three the most, and would do anything for them. She never teases or bickers with them. What they say goes, and she would defend them quickly. She often gets upset when even the other pack mates joke around with them or don't trust in their judgement. She follows them around like a duckling.
Odin: Charini doesn't like him very much, he tends to get on her nervous, but she takes the ignore in silence, since she doesn't want to be mean.
Aleta/Comet: She is pretty neutral about them, since both of them are quiet and Charini is the same way.
Tempest: Charini enjoys Tempest and likes to be around her in fact, she is the only one Charini will go with if she can't be with Everest, Quick or Will. Charini helps Tempest get herbs and other things from high places.
Ref Pic: I can give you a full picture later, but I'm bad at cat anatomy :] haha

Name: Xcavin
Gender:Male
Species/ Breed: Caribou/Reindeer
Personality:He is strapping and tries to be brave. Confident. He used to be full of himself but soon grew out of that stage. He is very protective and gets jealous pretty easily. He leans on his brother and aunt heavily for emotional support and that is his main weakness. Aloof. Slightly way ward, he likes to do things his way and will often rebel against his brother’s advice. Stubborn. He often gets in fight with males and is always the champion for that is the way of the herd, but one day he will be beaten and give up his rights. He is loyal and only has one mate compared to a herim of females that most of the deer species often have. He never second guesses anything unless strong facts are stated.

History:He was born with an older brother who was the heir to being the Herd lord. He was fine with that honestly not really wanting to be tied down to the harsh duties of his father. His father protected the herd with intensity and sterness. Xcavin often judged him and would often dissmiss his father.

He one day went out with his mother to the stream. He was just budding his antlers then. He and his mother went out to look at the new flower blossoms that had bloomed there. His mother started telling him a story of how life is a precious thing and should be taken care of as if it were your own. Neeva, Xcaven's mom, looked up at the stars, the nights beautiful blue glow shone over her silvery brown fur. Suddenly, as if lightning had flashed from the surrounding spruce trees, a large male wolf bit onto his mother's leg. "Run!" Neeva bleated, as she drew back her hoof to kick the wolf in the face. A yelp echoed out behind Xcaven, he stopped and looked back toward the trees to see his mother start running towards him. Xcaven smiled but it quickly fell when he saw three more wolves burst out of the trees. He turned and ran faster, but to his shock the male was in front of him. In Xcaven's memory the wolf was a hideous creature covered in the blood that had ran down from his nose and stained his white fur. Neeva jumped in front of Xcaven and bleated an angry warning in the air. The wolves started to close in.

Neeva avoided attack after attack, but it was too late when she realized that they were not trying to hit her that they were just trying to tire her out. Well it had worked and the bloody alpha knew it as he thirstily walked forward. His white fur gleaming over his body as his muscles tensed for the kill. "Wait!" Neeva yelled. “Please have mercy and if not for me at least for my son." The large wolf looked at the young stag. He grinned, "son, I suggest you leave this may get messy." "Run!!" Neeva yelled to him. Xcaven ran and ran; he turned slightly and got his last look at his mother.

When he returned to the herd panting with wild eyes he was questioned. Xcavin told them and this made his father angry. Aluf loved Neeva very much and yelled at Xcavin "Why didn't you come bleat for help?" Xcavin looked down and sniffled a little next to his brother. He gave him a soft nuzzle. Later his older brother went to warn the other mothers to stay close to the gathering spot. Aluf's sister Skelta snorted at her brother "He is just a boy and what did you expect to do? If you brought the herd down there someone else could have died also!"He was raised by his aunt Skelta after that tragedy.

Xcavin grew older and he became a handsome strong bull. He had a large set of antlers on his head that made his brothers seem small. His older brother was getting wierd and started breaking down under the pressure that he would lead one day. Aluf eventually went on a souting trip up the mountain with a few of the stronger bulls in search of a safer route instead of going through wolf territory. But their was a snowstorm up there and they weren't seen since. Since the leader was dead, Xcavin's brother had the birth right of being the leader, though he had to except a challenge. He turned it down, leaving Xcavin the next in line and the new leader.

Xcavin was challenged four times during his role as leader so far. The first two times he got lucky. These fights earned Xcavin three scars. After that it was just younger cocky bulls that challenged Xcavin. Xcavin prooved to be a good leader with his aunt and brother as his advisors. eventually they ran into another herd of caribou tracks.

Xcavin and his brother went to see what was going on as this herd never crossed paths with them before. Xcavin was shocked to see the smaller herd was surrounded by dogs. Mistaking them for wolves (as Xcavin has never seen a dog in his life), he foolishly charges one of the dogs. He eventually was captured by humans and tied to a wooden stake. The sawed his antlers off and left him alone there all night. Xcavin held his anger in after hours of struggling and shivering.

When morning broke the humans fought with him trying to brake him. They never did, one of Xcavin's sharp front hooves hit an unexperienced caribou herdsman in the chest. They eventually called their dogs over and had Xcavin herded into the smaller herd.
